Calibrating variant-scoring methods for clinical decision making
1 month ago | By Oxford Journals
AbstractIdentifying pathogenic variants and annotating them is a major challenge in human genetics, especially for the non-coding ones. Several tools have been developed and used to predict the functional effect of genetic variants. However, the calibration assessment of the predictions has received little attention. Calibration refers to the idea that if a model predicts a group of variants to be pathogenic with a probability P, it is expected that the same fraction P of true positive is found in the observed set. For instance, a well-calibrated classifier should label the variants such...
